So my next paid film review assignment -- I've been doing about one a month recently -- is a consumer guide to some of the best Christmas movies. Being me, however, I want to do something more unusual than list just the Wonderful Lifes and 34th Streets of the world, so I am trying to think of:
a) Obscure Christmas-themed movies that are cool, awesome, and/or gnarly.
b) Movies that do not focus on Christmas, per se, but do take place during the holiday season and are also cool, awesome, and/or gnarly.
c) Movies that don't take place during the holiday season at all but have story arcs that allude to or parallel the birth of Christ. (For example, if Superman were born in a manger, that would have been good. If he were born in a manger in Israel, that would have been better.) Also, the cool/awesome/gnarly bit.
If you help me, I will work in an anagrammed version of your name into my review, assuming that your name anagrams to "Matthew Prins."
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
